thestar.com — "Pretty soon we'll have to fly naked!" The mass media rapidly embraced the UK terror storyline fed to them. The BBC, CNN, CBC Newsworld and other all-news broadcasters covered scarcely anything but the narrowly averted catastrophe throughout the day. Funny thing, but the general public wasn't buying it. The reaction was surprisingly cynical...

Of course all muslims aren't terrorists you stupid idiot but some are and the muslim community could do a hell of a lot more to appreciate the freedoms that it has in this country and make a more positive contribution towards wheedling out the bad apples. You don't hear many unequivical condemnations of any of the recent terror acts from the muslim community and that is just plain wrong.

I did not drain it because they were being real assh**es. They wouldnt let me drain it or even go "near" it. They kept on treating me like a terrorist.

It's not that the politicians have control of the media; The major media is corporate and is controlled by very few people. So they can disallow any report they want to,or use this power to control or smear damn near anyone they want to.

Hey babayada.I'm for living that life as you describe..but it is being taken away,and our own government is complicit in the 9/11 attacks, which was a begining of a larger plan to take away the most desired freedoms the world has ever known. What was the very first thing the government did right after the attacks? They passed the Patriot Act,in fact,it was put out to Congress so quickly that virtually all members did not get a chance to examine it. And what does it do to stop terrorism? absolutely nothing. So the the only reason it was passed was to knock down the Constitution in order for the government to spy on all of us,and get away with it.
